Lesson Overview

29.3 – Using Deep Breathing to Calm the Mind: Using deep breathing to calm the mind gives you instant access to clarity during stress or frustration. When emotions rise, breathing often becomes shallow, sending signals of panic to the brain. Slow, deep breaths reverse this effect, slowing your heart rate and easing muscle tension. Inhale through your nose for four counts, hold briefly, then exhale through your mouth for six. Repeat several times until your body relaxes. This practice grounds your attention in the present moment, clearing the noise of worry or anger. Over time, regular deep breathing trains your nervous system to respond with calm instead of chaos. It’s a simple, powerful tool you can use anywhere—before a meeting, during chores, or after conflict—to reset emotional balance and regain steady focus.
